On Monday nights, I go to a Community Bible Study.
It's held at a giant church about five miles south of my house.
The church is a beautiful facility.
It's used by several different congregations.
I regularly hear about concerts
and lectures
and special events
that are happening there
There's a gym so big
that there are bleachers on one side
every week I stop to watch the basketball teams practice
and long for the day when basketball mom
was one of my jobs.
People use the building
seemingly 24/7.
Tonight, our Bible Study leader
announced that because of the Christchurch shooting
there is a change in policy
effective immediately
the doors will be locked
all the time
if anyone arrives late for Bible Study
they will need to ring a doorbell
and someone will come
and let them in.
Tonight my heart aches
that people
cannot even worship
in peace.

Such a sad commentary on today's world. My heart is heavy.
